This morning, at Calico Laine, we have been discussing what to do for our Christmas party; I know it seems early but there are only 98 days left until the big day. When we have decided where to go, next comes the discussion of what everyone is going to wear and I am sure many of you will be looking to get new outfits for your Christmas party too. Not everyone wants to buy outfits from the high street just in case you end up wearing the same dress as someone else in the office and therefore many of you will turn to your dressmaking skills to create something unique. Christmas is a time when a lot of money is spent on presents, decorations and nights out so at Calico Laine we can offer you some gorgeous reversible Satin Fabric which you can use to make a luxurious, elegant party outfit at a low cost without compromising on quality. Satin Back Dupion - This Satin Fabric is a cost effective alternative to silk and can be used on either the shiny side, matte side or both to create a unique finish. Satin Back Dupion is an elegant fabric which is ideal for creating dresses that need a little bit of drape but can also provide a more structured look when used with an interfacing to stiffen it. This is an ideal fabric for making a fitted jacket to go over a dress to create a bit of texture to your outfit. Available in over 30 colours there are plenty of shades to choose from to make you stand out in the crowd at your office Christmas party. At only £6.99 per metre, a stunning dress could be made that will make you feel like a million dollars! Satin Back Crepe - Satin Back Crepe is the perfect Satin Fabric for creating cost effective evening dresses for your night out on the town at Christmas. With its comfortable fit and sumptuous appearance, Satin Back Crepe is an ideal fabric for customers who wish their garments to have a beautiful, floaty finish without being too lightweight. It would look great made up into a full length evening gown as well as a mid length party dress and similar to satin back dupion, it can be used on either the matte or satin finish side depending on your preference. This Satin Fabric is only £5.99 per metre so will not break the bank but with its fabulous quality it will give you a designer look!
